Corn, soybean and soymeal futures closed strongly higher today as traders have renewed concerns that wet weather and late planting will negatively impact production. Wheat rose on spillover support. Outside markets were also supportive as energy and precious metal futures rose sharply on tensions in the Mideast with Iran. Also the US Dollar slipped 0.5%. On the soybean charts, a bullish “outside up day” was posted. This would be confirmed if prices break above Monday’s highs.

Cattle futures closed lower for a second day with feeder cattle futures losing more due to the rise in CBOT futures.  Choice beef fell .87 to 220.72 and Select lost .76 to 201.48. Light cash trade was reported at $110/cwt. Tomorrow’s Cattle on Feed Report is expected to show the June 1 on-feed inventory at 101.3% of a year earlier.

Lean Hog futures closed sharply lower with the July LH making new lows for the current Apr/May/June downtrend. Tuesday’s sharp drop in the pork cutout along with disappointing weekly pork export sales weighed heavily. FOB Plant Pork slipped .25 to 77.44.
